Philadelphia No 1 Firebrick

Found at Bo’ness, Firth of Forth, Edinburgh.

Unidentified brick.

This is a firebrick stamped ‘Philadelphia No 1 Fire Brick”. I presume it should read ‘Fire Brick Works’ and there may be part of the stamp missing from the middle line too.

Is it possibly connected to the Philadelphia Colliery, West Herrington, Co Durham, England or could it be an American import?
